This region has been identified as critical for pollinator conservation for bees and non-bee species (e.g., monarch butterfly [Danaus plexippus]). Pollinator sustainability (i.e., wild bee conservation and sustainable beekeeping) relies upon management decisions by beekeepers, farmers, and landowners, but it is unclear if these stakeholders are aware of and use best practices. We present results of surveys administered to Iowan beekeepers, farmers, and landowners after extension programming on best management practices for sustaining honey bees (Apis mellifera) and other pollinators. Results show beekeepers, farmers, and landowners believe implementing pollinator-friendly practices is important. However, knowledge of tools to implement these practices, such as registering apiaries to avoid pesticide drift or cost-share programs for establishing habitat on their land, was very low. These results suggest opportunities exist for connecting beekeepers seeking higher quality apiaries with landowners that have established habitat with added floral resources. Further, we reviewed practices that reconstruct tallgrass prairie with support of federal cost-share funds, specifically CP42 and CP43 of the USDA’s conservation reserve program. Overall, we document strong support and enthusiasm for pollinator-friendly practices in Iowa but note gaps in knowledge of practices that are most effective and what tools are available to implement them. These results suggest a way for pollinator extension programs to address these knowledge gaps in a receptive group of beekeepers, farmers, and landowners.","PeriodicalId":16119,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrated Pest Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48111347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We reviewed the abundant literature on biological, ecological, and management aspects of Liohippelates eye gnats. Eye gnat biology and life cycles have been well studied in agricultural systems. However, their ecology, roles in trophic cascades, and functions in natural ecosystems, particularly forests, are not well documented. Additionally, there remain opportunities to improve traps, repellents, deterrents, and controls for eye gnats.

For instance, vegetative field edges provide habitat and changing the timing of insecticidal sprays decreases risk for pollinators and natural enemies of insect pests. However, the attitudes and confidence of U.S. growers towards IPM implementation in traditional row crops remain understudied. We developed an online survey using a convenience sample and surveyed Kentucky soybean growers to understand their current pest and general management practices, beliefs about sources of insect pests/weeds, and attitudes towards pollinators. We also asked about their willingness to implement two management tactics—maintaining tree-lined field edges and changing the timing of their combination insecticide/fungicide sprays to avoid flowering. Our data indicate that many Kentucky soybean growers already use crop rotation, no-till soil management, and limit insecticide application based on high pest abundance. When asked about their management of field edges, the most common responses included removal of trees/shrubs, mowing, or herbicide application. Growers also believed that nationally, farmers can influence pollinator populations and that a portion of the soybean yield is due to pollinator activity within crop fields. However, they were less willing to maintain tree lines as a habitat for natural enemies and pollinators out of concern for the increased spread of weeds and insect pests. Given these findings, we need to evaluate the perceived and actual trade-offs of weed and insect pest management in future on-farm conservation efforts for beneficial insects such as pollinators using integrated pest and pollinator management.","PeriodicalId":16119,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrated Pest Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/JIPM/PMAB005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47689547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two similar greenhouses at each of three different grower locations were designated as either the IPM or the conventional insecticide greenhouses in southeastern United States. In the IPM greenhouses, we released Eretmocerus eremicus (Rose & Zolnerowich) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) weekly and Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) every 4 wk, and selective insecticides were used to treat high whitefly densities as needed. In the conventional greenhouses, growers were autonomous in their insecticide application decisions. All whitefly stages were counted weekly on a maximum of 20 leaves per 50 randomly sampled poinsettias and 50 flagged (i.e., revisited) poinsettias in every greenhouse. Whitefly densities were consistently similar or higher in the IPM greenhouses compared to their conventionally managed counterparts for the duration of the trial. The cost of inputs and labor for whitefly management in the IPM greenhouses was between 0.57- and 3.0-fold the cost of conventional management. Our study supports that releasing E. eremicus and A. swirskii can reduce insecticide applications by 25–78% and may be considered a feasible strategy to manage B. tabaci in commercial poinsettia production in place of conventional insecticidal control in southeastern United States.","PeriodicalId":16119,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrated Pest Management","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/JIPM/PMAB010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61061177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
